--9mm? better than a 45acp?--i donna know bout that one???

all the mall ninjas went 9mm cause they held more rounds and the ammo was half the price.

i was there when they DOD switched from the 45 to the 9mm. not everybody was happy with it --even right out the gate.

to me it all ways seemed the 9s held twice the ammo because they were about half as effective.

now in a SMG it don't look quite so bad, the extra barrel it picks up a few FPS velocity and to get those extra hits required you just hold the trigger a hair longer---LOL!

even HK cranked out quite a few 40,45, and even 10mm mp5s--

ask HK though 9mm is da shitz--LOL!

yea i got 9mms and i use 9mms--mainly for practical reasons rather than tactical reasons.

i think the DOD liked the 9mm cause it was half the weight and size of 45 acp--takes up less space and weighs half as much= cost far less to transport half way around the globe.

effectiveness or lack there of was not even considered by the DOD. and besides there was a cool factor of having 15 rounds in your iron!--

the day has come that which round or even how effective it is is more of a side note --all that is required is that the round be effective enough and you got plenty of them--

that is ammo 2013!
